Daily Item: SU professor launches book at credit union; Proceeds to be donated to the Brandon Bitner Memorial Scholarship Fund

From The Daily Item:

SELINSGROVE — Susquehanna University creative writing professor and South African native Glen Retief not only plans to launch the paperback version of his memoir, “The Jack Bank,” at his local credit union, Service 1st — a rare choice for literary memoirists, who usually gravitate toward bookstores and libraries. He also intends to donate all book sale proceeds from the event to his university’s Brandon Bitner Memorial Scholarship Fund, in honor of the Mount Pleasant Mills teenager who stepped in front of a truck on Nov. 5, 2010, because he was sick of being the target of antigay bullying.

The book launch will take place at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 26, at Service 1st Federal Credit Union, 3054 North Susquehanna Trail, Shamokin Dam.
